Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Decatur, IA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Decatur includes detox services that are responsibly handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
